After Or Before (Pre​-​Release, Single)

by Britt Kusserow

/

lyrics

Oh life, why must you grasp?
Each loss less than the last.
Each invitation long since past.
Each truth, as sharp as glass.

Oh love, what is gain?
What coda or refrain?
So many pathways in one brain.
Such overgrown terrain.

And I'm happy, after all.
Neither regret the large, nor small.
The choices that I hardly saw.
Am I marrow, or the maw?

Oh time, what have you known?
What mystics wept alone?
What suns have bleached what brittle bones
to return to sand and stone?

I guess life is for the sure;
those arrogant enough to dream a cure,
to temper what they saw was pure.
Am I less, or am I more?
Am I after, or before?
Am I wave? Or am I shore?
